About the series
Over two issues in 1980 and 1981, Marvel UK’s Captain Britain Summer Special delivered a pair of oversized, standalone adventures for the star-spangled hero Brian Braddock. Anchored by the scripting of Chris Claremont and Roy Thomas, with art from Gene Colan and John Byrne, the series pitted Captain Britain against mystical threats alongside the enigmatic Merlyn. These specials offered a vibrant, self-contained showcase for the character during his early years, bridging his British origins with the cosmic scope Claremont would later explore in Excalibur.
